Shortcodes
Shortcodes are Solodev's templating language — small [bracketed] tags that pull in data, control page flow, or render a widget, written directly alongside HTML in a page's markup. They're parsed server-side before a page is served.
[google_website_search google_cse_id="XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"]Self-closing shortcodes look like [shortcode attr="value"]. Enclosing shortcodes wrap content: [shortcode attr="value"]...content...[/shortcode]. Double curly braces `` reference a content field inside an enclosing shortcode like [repeater] or [entry].
Categories
Note:
Every real, currently-registered shortcode is covered somewhere in these five sections. A handful of older tags found in the CMS source are commented out or explicitly marked for removal in favor of a replacement (for example, cal_detail and calendar_detail were replaced by entry) — those aren't documented here since they don't do anything if used.
Writing your own
A website can register its own PHP file of custom shortcodes, on top of the built-in ones. See Building Custom Shortcodes.
